Example:
Jimmy *
talking to Steve*: Bro, if I fuckin' see Tommy near my girl again, he's getting his ass beat.
*Steve is a snitch ass bitch and tells Tommy of this encounter he had with Jimmy*
Tommy *
talking to Jimmy*: Jimmy,
keep that same energy you had when you were talking to Steve. I'll see you when class gets out.
If Jimmy were to engage in a physical altercation with Tommy, he would have kept the same energy. If Jimmy bitched out (the more likely of the two options, his name is Jimmy), he would not have kept the same energy.
